Whilst we should keep vigilant, Sony has given in.

We won this battle boys, lets ensure we win this war.

I am really split on how I feel about this game.

Its a fun game and I dig the aesthetic and what its going for but it just feels so poorly paced and feels so empty. I understand that its bound to feel like that with the procedural generation but it just feels so barren. It does not help that traveling on the planet is just so slow and tedious due to how spaced out everything is. Its so slow to walk about 2000 meters away from my ship for a single spacer camp just so I can have actual combat. My biggest issue however is that it feels like it does a lot worse than Fallout 4 did in a lot of places (companions, crafting, arguably perks but jury is still out on that one.)

The companion system is such a big downgrade in my mind due to its pacing being so poor and you aren't even able to talk to some companions about game events until you dismiss them and you can't even check in on what the companions feelings with you are. It doesn't help that the companions are just *bland*. Like your options are smart explorer, criminal explorer, smart explorer, etc. None of them feel super interesting, except maybe Sam.

However, it is a fun game. It is a mechanically solid and enjoyable game. The gun play and ship combat feel good and are fun, the only issue is how long it could be before you are able to fight.

Unrelated to the rest of my review but I got the premium version for free with my new AMD gpu so I am marking this review as free.

Its like when Battlefield was good and without the vehicles being incredibly overpowered. Also use medium scopes on snipers, thank me later.

Its a incredibly fun game. Bit of a steep learning curve but nowhere near as oppressive as Tos1. If you have the cash, its totally worth a attempt.

Please use CongusDongus in the referral menu, I really want my skins :P

Game is really fun but currently not worth the price. maybe 12 would be nice. The story telling is great.

My current run has the oldest race in the galaxy experience 4 separate apocalypses, went from collectivist communes to a cyberpunk corporate dictatorship that results in war every few decades. That same race spent a few hundred years traveling to a system, losing 90% of the fleet along the way in a attempt to colonize a new world, that was recently left abandoned after the vampire race nuked themselves. That colony has ironically been the most sustainable so far. Humans are by far the most successful since while they progress slow they are the most green and sustainable nations.

My personal favorite moment is when a bunch of otter like people became Anti-natalist and went extinct fighting to hold together that planet's Rome.

This game makes me mad and the women make me horny. Its a awful combo when playing with friends.

I greatly regret buying this however it was on sale so H3H3 doesnt get as much. The perk deck is awesome but everything else is by far the worst thing the game has added.

The heist is incredibly fun but it has issues.

Those being there is so much mob swarming, I mean like an absurd amount of cops.

Also it crashes every time I shoot the boss, so yeah.

I am enjoying it so far. I haven't experienced any major FPS issues or anything of the sort. The game runs really smooth on middle-of-the-line software for me.

The only complaint I have is that the progression feels really wonky. In all of the old souls games you were pushed in a certain way but since this is free roam I am having a harder time balancing and getting better gear for the story boss
